Snake + Herring High + Dry Riesling 2018 11.5% 750ml

The pristine fruit is pressed immediately and only the free run component with the delicate citrus and floral aromatics is kept. Juice yields are typically only ½ to 2/3rds of any other variety but the quality is fine, racy and delicate without any bitter phenolics extracted from the skins.

Expert Review:
James Halliday- 91 points, Bright, light quartz; while the bouquet doesn't have much to say, the palate does, its citrus/apple flavours a clear stream running over the riverbed pebbles and rocks.

The Snake + Herring brand is a wine safari searching for remarkable grapes from West Australian Vineyards. The Search has begun, and our grape balloon manned by Snake (our winemaker) and Herring (our navigator) represent this. The southwest of WA is a viticultural treasure map as there are vineyard jewels scattered throughout. We seek for blocks within vineyards that really shine; they may seem dull when diluted by the bordering lesser dirt. The search is to find and polish these often overlooked gems and present a treasure chest of different jewels: pristine, crystalline Rieslings; crisp, radiant, multi-faceted Chardonnays; alluring, perfumed Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon; dark, exotic, hedonistic Shiraz; brilliant, regal displays of Cabernets and blends.
